*After having designed and painted many screens in a variety of materials, Eileen Gray said she wanted to create a screen with a more 'industrial feel' by using 'ready-made' perforated steel sheets, which at the time were quite new. Being Eileen she decided 'not to conform' by using two different perforations and slightly curving each panel in its wooden frame.
